Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
